Musical Instrument Museum

The Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) is a 200,000-square-foot building with two floors of spacious, light-filled galleries and a collection of more than 12,500 instruments and associated objects. Currently, more than 7,000 objects are on display from over 200 countries and territories. The museum’s galleries feature advanced wireless technology and high-resolution video screens, enabling guests to see instruments, hear their sounds, and observe them being played in their original settings—performances that are often as spectacular as the instruments. Select exhibits offer an insider’s view of how instruments work, the workshop displays detail the instrument-building process, and the Experience Gallery offers musical instruments that guests can touch and play. MIM is also home to the award-winning 300 seat live music venue, MIM Music Theater, where more than 300 performances are presented a year. MIM is an unparalleled venue for enjoying old favorites and experiencing new sounds from around the world, from jazz to classical, bluegrass to singer-songwriters.
